      Hello,

       

      I am trying to migrate my existing EJB 2 Entity beans that are currently deployed in Jboss AS 3.2.6 to Jboss AS 5. While deploying my application, i am getting the following exception stack in the server console of jboss as 5 :

      My Application uses the jboss.xml file.

       

      The generated jboss.xml refers to the DTD "http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss_3_0.dtd". For backward compatibility, JBoss 5.x provides "jboss_3_0.dtd" in "$JBOSS_EAP_DIST/docs/dtd/" so that application deployed on older versioned JBoss can be deployed in latest version. Now, in my application's jboss.xml, for an <entity>, a tag name <method-attributes> is used which possible elements(sub-tags) can be <method-name> and <read-only> according to "jboss_3_0.dtd". Now, if deploy my application with jboss.xml having following tags in xml, i am getting the above stack trace.

       

      Is is that my jboss.xml cannot refer to http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/dtd/jboss_3_0.dtd, or </method-attributes> is wrongly defined in jboss.xml?

       

      This seems to work perfectly fine in my jboss 3.2.6, but throws the above exceptions as soon as i deploy the same in jboss 5. I have attached my jboss.xml file for reference alongwith the jboss_3_0.dtd.

       

      Does anybody have any ideas as to why is this strange bahaviour when migrating to jboss as 5 ??

          I'm not sure, the version is really old.

           

          But I suppose that the AS5 (I hope you use 5.1) might not handle the old xml correct.

           

          Do you use a proper XML editor with highligting and dtd check? If not try jedit (with plugins) for example.

          I would check wether your jboss.xml is valid against the 3_0.dtd, if yes and still not working you should validate and fix against the latest dtd version of your current server version.

           

          And I expect other migration issues because there are some changes between such versions. Feel free to ask specifc
